al'iii'inlinenl of the chairman of thc < cmmillcc <â– â– ( the city hall was thc most important lhe organization committee had to give out and it went therefore lo i iianiciiiar friend of mayor busse in fact it was largely because young taylor is a dose friend of the mayor that be was given the place peculiar fitness for the position was the reason chairman frank i bennett gave for the selection however but mr bennett also stated that taylor's relations with busse cut some figure the position is one that requires in tiuiale relation and sympathy with the mayor mr bennett said and besides his close friendship for the mayor mr taylor has shown exceptional ability or that soil of work and lias bad the exper ience lie has bad charge of several build ihgs and knows all about such matters from the management of his own affairs we consider ibe appointment excellent as s\cll as the logical oue reinburg and beilfuss demur . jusl the same taylor was not given the place as a free will offering alderman reluberg deuioel-t aid beilfuss re v-ul'lican irere both against it tbcy were a good bit miffed when scully and o'con nell combined wiih bennett io make it and relations are now more than a little strained wlicu the meeting at which ibe decision was made ended the two ineur i i ins held a little indignation session all by themselves but at dinner they broke bread with the other four and afterward all smoked m peace together outside of picking taylor for city hall the coiumitlee has definitely decided upon two chairmanships namely bennett for finance and foreman for local transpor tation the membership of the finance committee has also practically beeu set tled except as to one place that left by the retirement of maypole there was mother vacancy by virtue of the defeat of willistou but foell of the twenty-first ward has tentatively been picked for it otherwise ibe membership will be as last year bennett finn foreman zimmer beilfuss bel-berg bihl o'counell moy nihau kobout and scully between richert and jones the selection of a man for the maypole vacancy involves several things the chances are that it will go cither to rich ert democrat or joues republican joucs when he was m the council before was chairman of the committee on buildings and helped frame the present code also and what is much to the point just now he is the particular friend and political familiar of john j hanberg mayor busses commissioner of public works just as a coincidence of course he is here now with hanberg and both of them chum with the organization committee also sundry telegrams from Chicago to chairman dennett are said to have ur"ed that jones be given back his old commit tee on buildings bennett himself has said that m recognition of his known abili ties jones will be well taken care of but richert is now chairman of the build ing committee and is held m considerable esteem in Chicago so the committee does not just like to take the job away from hiin'eveu to please busse and hanberg slap at united societies so if the mayor's orders force tbein to do il they arc likely to put richert on the fiuauce committee as compensation and triggs weds former pupil

took his own life he bases his ruling on the belief that father graham was not responsible at the time of the act and therefore will allow the funeral to take place from the church of which the priest was the pastor and the burial of the body ln consecrated ground devotion to his work is ascribed as the cause for the failing of the mind of father graham neither corey nor steel will drop asserts

m this coun : try - when asked if he would sail on the steamship frederlch der ctrosse with mme gould and what his plans were he became uncommunicative there is considerable mystery sur rounding the movements of the prince and mme gould to-night new tork april 10 prince helie de sagan and mine anna gould will sail to morrow ruorning at 10 o'clock on the steamship frederick der grosse of tlie

over to jersey via the twenty-third street ferry and it wrts nearly two hours after they reached hoboken before they boarded the ship rumor has them married there was a persistent report although none of the members of the party would admit this that the prince and mme anna had been married by a new jersey justice of the peace to aid them m keeping their departure secret the prince and mme gould had all their baggage taken from the st regis to the pier under the name ot miller just as on the sunday when the prince secretly entered new york the examiner traced him to-night by finding the

of them with the label miller on them but the arrangements for the transfer of the baggage were made by mr morse at midnight mr morse had not returned to the st regis and it was evident that he and mrs morse were planning to sail with the prince and mme gould on account of the lateness of the hour it was impossible to jearn from members of the gould family whether consent had finally been won from them to the marriage of the prince and anna gould spend day with mme gould there were further indications to-day that all has been happily settled between mme anna gould and the prince de sagan and that they nil be married within a few weeks thc apartment which the prince has m the hotel waldorf-astoria saw him to-day only when he changed from frock to even , ing dress the rest of the day he

over at any rate they were iv mine gould's apartment at the same time in the afternoon the prince and mme gould went for a drive m the park they left the hotel st regis openly m the same machine which is another proof that there is no longer any question of an en gagement between them a dispatch from virginia hot springs to day says mrs george gould was there until a week ago and discussed the de sagan affair with miss marlon dean and others she is said to have told miss dean that n plan had beeu agreed on by which the gould family would withdraw all op position to de sagan mrs george gould
